I can't wait to finally get a usable rivafb. Previous versions have been both buggy and catastophically slow. This version (0.9.0) was fast enough to make things work as smoothly as without a framebuffer device. B.T.W. is there any way of getting the text-only mode working and still having fb available for, say, having fbtv (tv tuner for fb devices) running at one console while the other consoles would still be using text mode?
